My big sisters Wedding

Woooohoooo I am going to get to go to my sisters wedding in August and am hoping to look really good by then. I have lost a total of 53 lbs since I started this journey and yesterday for the first time I could really tell it in my clothes. Been stuck at 217 for a while now but it will start moving soon. Next Friday I have to have a tooth pulled so will be on liquids for a day or two. I am so thrilled about her wedding though I am really looking forward to it now that I am losing this weight. I know it would be a different story if I wasn't. I am so thankful every day for getting my life back. I can't wait till I get to look for a new dress to wear for her wedding. Logan is going to be the ring bearer. Hubby isn't going just Logan and I. I am looking forward to it. Going to do some extra fun stuff with him while we are there. Water park is 1 mile from our hotel. Did I mention how excited I am.... Anna

Yeah for you! I just looked at your recent photo and I really see a change. And now contacts too! By your sisters wedding no one will recognize you. And just think--you will be able to keep up with Logan at the water park! So where is the wedding? Jen

It's in Couer D' lane, Id (sp) I am from Idaho but not that part. I will get to see my sis and her boys which I haven't seen for about 6 years. I am just so excited. Anna

Oh Anna, I cannot even tell you how happy I am for you. I can't believe that you have lost so much weight in so little time! That is AWESOME!!!! I checked out your recent pics - you look so happy and so much healthier already! I know you are gonna be one hot mama by the time the wedding gets here in August . Family members that haven't seen you in a long time are not even going to recognize you ! Won't that be fun!?! You keep up the good work and feel free to share any secrets that you have discovered or any tips that you have with those of us getting ready to start the journey . , Robin

Thanks Robin!! I know I can't wait for everyone to see the new me. I did live in that part for awhile small town called Post Falls. It should be a hoot for sure. I most definitely will tell you anything I can. Here is one tip....be sure to listen to what your body tells you and listen. When it tells you that you are full....listen otherwise you will get sick...hehe learned that one right off. No more "well it's just one more small bite" I pu**** away no matter how much is left. Wooooohoooo woman your time is almost here. I am just so excited for you!!! Anna

That is sooo good to know. I just hung up with a girl friend of mine who told me the exact same thing! Keep on losin', girl! Thanks so much! Take Care, Robin

That is great news Anna. Have fun shopping for that new dress. Just remember to wait til the last minute because your sizes will start changing fast. Courtney

Yes, I figured as much . That is one of the many great moments we WLS folks have. Anna

Anna by the time August comes around you are going to look awesome!! And your family will be so surprised - and that will make you feel even better!! Congratulations!! I would be excited if I was you too!! Jackie
